Former President Donald Trump's campaign has reported that U.S. intelligence officials have alerted him to 'real and specific' threats from Iran regarding assassination attempts against him and other U.S. leaders. Trump has expressed outrage at these claims, stating that the Iranian president being protected at the UN while allegedly plotting attacks represents 'a strange set of circumstances.' He has made bold statements suggesting a military response to these threats, claiming he would consider striking Iran if these assassination plots are confirmed. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted that the U.S. is 'intensely tracking' the threats posed by Iran against current and former officials. Amidst the electoral campaign, both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are highlighting their economic proposals while this international security issue unfolds.
